| Additional information |
Erich II of Brunswick-Grubenhagen held the Bishopric of Osnabrück from 1508 to 1532, a tenure that coincided almost exactly with the opening salvos of the Reformation — pressure that bore directly on ecclesiastical minting rights throughout Lower Saxony. At 0.22 g, these pfennigs represent the thinnest stratum of the bishop's monetary authority, struck for purely local transactional use within the diocese.
